Usage and Examples

The ServiceRocket Reporting macros will retrieve the metadata provided by Comala Metadata App using the “metadata:” key.

For example

  • if the following Comala Metadata metadata list macro is added to a number of pages with different values on each page for the three metadata references city; province; country.

...

ServiceRocket Reporting macros can be added to one of the pages to report on these metadata values.

...

Each Report Column macro utilizes the metadata: supplier to report on the metadata created in the metadata list macro.

  • for example using metadata:city

...

The data is updated when the metadata on each page is modified.
